Italy Cooking Lessons

Tuscany is known for its Italian culinary flair and is home to many schools and holiday destinations offering Italian cookery lessons and courses. Visitors are invited to learn the delicious art of preparing and cooking homemade pasta, pizza, olive oil and Pecorino cheese; these delicacies are beautifully accompanied by Tuscan breads and wines.

Many of the culinary institutes provide accommodation in exquisite villas, as well as planned excursions to vineyards and olive groves. The most popular places for cookery lessons in Tuscany are in the city of Florence or in the Lucca and Grosseto areas, both of which also offer historic sightseeing and various cultural experiences such as a 15th century Franciscan monastery, traditional music, local theatre and art exhibitions.

Lessons vary from introductory classes, which teach a basic knowledge of Italian food and wine, to advanced courses taught by top Italian chefs. The duration of the courses are also optional, offering anything from 3 days to a full week of lessons. This could be an opportunity to learn and taste Tuscan recipes that have been enjoyed through the ages, drenched in tradition and flavour.
